Win 7 is a great product and this was a great idea from Microsoft. Now it is a rip off by people who resale this at a horrible price. You can get Home Premium for $108 and these sell for more then it would be if I bought them separate. I would pay at the most $200 for a copy not $350.

I went to Office Depot and bought three individual upgrades cheaper than this. Originally, this product was $149.99 until Microsoft discontinued it. So now, the sellers who still have this product are just gouging whomever buys it now........I guess this is typical so-called supply and demand.....

Nothing having to do with Amazon or the vendor at all. Windows 7 is just a waste of money is all. It has a few different features than Vista but it still has the exact same problems with programs freezing up and networking problems that Vista had.

I wish I could hit every one in Amazon right now about fleecing and profiteering.
This product started out at a nominal $149.99. Now it is more than DOUBLE that price!
Seriously? There's a difference between making a profit and stealing.
I am a frequent shopper of Amazon.com, but I'm not going to shop places that do this type of business.
